Still, I needed to know why people would not only submit themselves to this leap of faith but also do it so publicly. I called Genie Francis, whose character, Laura, on General Hospital married Luke in 1981 in a major TV event. Sadly, their marriage is not doing well.

...seriously tilted constructions that are erupting now required a technological leap, namely the emergence of more sophisticated versions of computer-assisted design, CAD, which make it easier to conceive and build the most complex irregular forms.

These days you could practically dash the thing off on your Palm Pilot. Adventurous architects are working with the same software used by aircraft engineers...
